THE PLEA OF INSANITY.
DR.. GOdding Takes Issue With the Rul.
tngs Of the Courts.

DR.. w. W. GOdd1ng, Superintendent of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital for the Insane, read an Interesting
paper before the psychological section OF the con-
gress, on '1nsanity as Defense for Crime"
The doctor began with the question, "How far
does the insanity OF man affect his responsible
tty?" This question, he said, though among Eng
disappearing nations centuries In the asking
seems as 1ar as ever from satisfactory answer
Insanity Is the mental manifestation OF bodily dis
ease and not question of the knowledge OF right
and wrong, can by no possibility become judi
cial utterance; and consequently cannot any more
than smallpox take its limitations from the meta
physical answers OF any judges. Much of the
seem seeming connlct between law and medicine comes
titles about disease the lawyer argues OF the
rulings Of courts as If they constituted insanity
Ting s'a there is At the
The newspapers call it "the insanity dodge" The
lawyer pressed hard for defense looks up eccen-
collateral branch the usual fan on the head IN c
dent to happy childhhod, and with an array of ex-
pert WISDOM gravely interposes the plea OF 1nsan-
ity. But the abuse Of the plea should not bar its
legitimate use.
THE RULING IN THE GUITEAU CASE.
To show the status OF that plea in the courts to-
day the doctor took the rulings OF Judge Cox in
the famous Guiteau case: "Whether the accused,
at the time OF committing the act, knew the diff
courts to-day. and this is the only insanity which
they will recognize as defense for crime. The
question Of Irresistible impulse was set forth with
the illustrative case OF woman taking the life OF
her own babe, and 1t was shown that here the
courts had recognized tangible something higher
than any right or wrong.
the trouble Is that ths judges have made only
need Is to spend few weeks In a hospital and
make the acquaintance Of q few crazy people.
They would not then, as DR.. Ray has said ssbe
guilty OF the absurdlty OF expecting an Insane
person 10 act reasonably In regard to his deu-
StOnS."
II the legal definition OF insanity does not in
clude that which Is clncally observed by the ply
sician the fault is not with the disease. but the
dennitton 1t Is the physicians duty to state the
facts II they are the truths OF science they viii
aDlae. DuC a,n tne rulings OF courts change; but,
sull cling TO the old dogma Of knowledge OF right
and wrong.
The doctor then turned to the New Hampshire
rulings Mnicn Judge Cox rejected as judicial
facts for the jury TO determine, and not rulings
for the court and eulogtzed the decision as the
very truth a With which his paper started-that In
dlcted that In the judiciary In the future the

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The great event OF the week
here has been the capture OF the Trades Union
Congress by the advanced sem-socialist section.
Socialists have long been prepared for this COUP
while it has been hastened by relations which
have lately been set up between the English trade
unionists and the French continental organlza-
tions. The result has been that the cong ess has
been resolved from labor into electoral league,
entirely Independent OF either political party.
point OF special Importance Is that the labor
representatives were all attached TO the radical
wing or the liberal party Broadhurst their chief,
Is IA follower of Gladstone and Was under-Secretary
or the home department in his last ministry These
men. moderate in their views, made an energetic
but inefectua protest against the new departure.
On the eight-hour question compromise was ar
rived at. The congress Was obviously in favor OF
the eight-hour limit, bat IL has confined Itself 10 A
resolution demanded by the plebiSclte members or
the various trades unions. The question OF split,
however, between moderateS and advanced has
become serious, and the result Is likely
TO be more SO because OF the crippled
financial condition or many OF the unions. The
Agricultural LaborerS' Union have good reason
